You have to start with the

Customer Experience

and work back toward the technology, not the other way around.”- Steve Jobs

What is the "Customer Experience?"

  • It is the combined interactions your customers have with your business/brand.

  • Every interaction should be memorable and meaningful.

  • Different than “customer service” which is typically transactional and occurs at specific moments in time or solves problems.  

  • The customer experience is relational, not transactional.

  • IT’S ALL ABOUT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS.

Why is this important to a small business owner?

​

  • Research shows that the majority of purchase decisions are made based on experience, not price.

  • With today's technology, consumers expect meaningful engagement, personalization, ease, speed, accessibility and consistency when dealing with your business/brand.
